Travelled from Hiroshima to Tokyo today just in time to catch the last entry to the Ghilbli museum for the day. Sadly photography wasn’t allowed inside the museum, if it were there would be a couple of hundred shots as the place was awesome! Here’s some photos from places I was allowed to shoot:

Travelled the 715km from Matsumoto to Hiroshima today via Nagoya and Osaka.

Missed taking a shot of the first train, the Shinano Wide View. It was a nice train, lots of window area, sadly the outer coating of the windows was deteriorated to a point that you couldn’t enjoy the scenery outside as it travelled through the mountains from Matsumoto to Nagoya.

My second train, the Shinkansen Hikari at Nagoya station (Shinkansen 700 series):

My third train from Shin-Osaka to Hiroshima was a Shinkansen N700-8000 series trainset.

Spent the morning visiting some new friends from Vietnam in the Takinogawa area, had a lunch of タコライス (not Octopus but actual taco filling on rice) followed by a visit to the closing day of the Tokyo Motor Show.

On the approach to the entrance gates were replica and custom cars:

Inside was huge but here are some random shots of the cars (and bikes):

Honda’s clean hydrogen technology in the form of a giant white baby statue with glowing eyes that pisses pure water:

So today, after months of having a static page here that doesn’t do very much, I’ve decided it’s well and truly time to turn this blog into a blog, it’s original intended purpose. I post all over the place anyway, I think it’s time to actually concentrate my efforts in one place – it’s also part of my grand backup plan should Facebook and Google+ ever stop providing the required incentives to use their services.
